Steel Company as lessee signed a lease agreement for equipment for 5 years, beginning December 31, 2017. Annual rental payments

of $40,000 are to be made at the beginning of each lease year (December 31). The taxes, insurance, and the maintenance costs are the obligation of the lessee. The interest rate used by the lessor in setting the payment schedule is 9%; Steel's incremental borrowing rate is 10%. Steel is unaware of the rate being used by the lessor. At the end of the lease, Steel has the option to buy the equipment for $1, considerably below its estimated fair value at that time. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years, with no salvage value. Steel uses the straight-line method of depreciation on similar owned equipment.

Explanation:

a. The journal entries, that should be recorded on January 1, and December 31, 2017, by Steel would be as follows:

                                                                       Debit   Credit

December 31, 2017

Lease Equipment Under Capital Leases    $166,794  

                                                      Lease Liability    $166,794

December 31, 2017/January 1, 2018

Lease Liability                                        $40,000  

                                                         Cash             $40,000

Lease Equipment Under Capital Leases=(40,000*PVIFA(10%,Years = 40,000*4.16986))= $166,794  

b. The journal entries, that should be recorded on January 1 and December 31, 2018, by Steel would be as follows:

                                          Debit               Credit

December 31, 2018/January 1, 2019

Lease Liability          $27,321  

                           Cash                     $40,000

Depreciation Expense= (166,794/7)=$23,828

Interest Expense [(166,794 - 40,000)*10%]=$12,679  

Lease Liability=(40,000 - 12,679)=$27,321

c. The journal entries, that should be recorded on January 1, and December 31, 2019, by Steel would be as follows:

                                            Debit     Credit

Natalija [7]

Answer:

6 salespersons

Explanation:

A histogram shows the graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data using bars of different lengths.

From the histogram:

The number of salespersons who sold 11 - 12 packages = 1

The number of salespersons who sold 13 - 14 packages = 2

The number of salespersons who sold 15 - 16 packages = 3

Therefore the new agents who sold more than 10 vacation packages = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 salespersons

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The answer is B. increase its spending.

Explanation:

Fiscal policy is a tool used by the government of every nation to control its economy. It uses its spending and revenue (tax) to control it.

When the economy is operating at an output level below potential real GDP, it means there are low activities in the economy i.e reduced households' consumption, reduced business investments and reduced government spending.

Government can stimulate the economy (which will increase real GDP) by increasing its spending in all areas.

Increasing taxes will reduce GDP because households' consumption will reduce due to lower disposable income and business investments too will reduce.

Option A and D are wrong because money supply is a monetary policy.

Providing and seeking support from others during times of stress best illustrates
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The tend and befriend response

Explanation:

The word "tend" refers to care and look after someone while "befriend" refers to becoming friends with someone.

The tend and befriend response refers to a form of behavior in response to a threat. When under immense stress, an individual adopts a fight or flight response which is getting extremely aggressive in order to fight the situation or flees i.e tries and runs away from the situation.

The tend and befriend response has been observed to be more prominent in case of females. So when subjected to immense stress, it was observed that females spent a lot more time "tending" to their off springs which appeared vulnerable to them, serving as a mode to reduce stress while at the same time, also forming friendly bonds to seek support from others.
